OWC ANNOUNCES VOYAGER HARD DRIVE DOCKING BUNDLES WITH FIREWIRE 800/400, USB 2.0, & ESATA INTERFACES
Includes NewerTech Voyager Q “Quad Interface” or Voyager S2 “Dual Interface” Hard Drive Dock, 
Highest Capacity, Most Energy Efficient SATA Hard Drive Options up to 2.0TB,
& Intech/Prosoft/NovaStor Disk Utility Software
 
Voyager Bundles Priced from $109.99

February 26, 2009, Woodstock, IL -- Other World Computing (OWC®) http://www.macsales.com, a leading Mac and PC technology company, announced today nine new OWC Voyager Hard Drive Docking Bundles that come complete with the NewerTech Voyager hard drive dock; a high performance, SATA hard drive with options including the most energy efficient operation and/or highest capacity drives available on the market up to 2.0TB; and a $200 retail value disk utility software bundle consisting of Intech SpeedTools/Prosoft Data Backup 3/NovaStor NovaBackup.  Priced starting at $109.99, the Voyager Hard Drive Docking Bundles feature either the NewerTech Voyager Q, the only “Quad Interface” FireWire 800, FireWire 400, USB 2.0, & eSATA hard drive docking station on the market or the NewerTech Voyager S2 USB 2.0/eSATA interface model, for Plug & Play compatibility with both Windows and Macintosh systems.

The OWC Voyager Bundle is a Plug and Play easy to use external hard drive solution that works with both Macs and PCs straight from the box.  Simply insert the included 3.5" SATA I/II hard drive (up to 2.0TB) into the NewerTech Voyager compact docking base and select the fastest interface supported by the connected computer to backup and store data; archive multiple smaller drives onto the OWC Voyager hard drive; or even create a bootable clone of the primary hard drive.  Because there isn’t anything to install or configure, Voyager saves users the time and inconvenience of installing a hard drive into a computer or an external hard drive enclosure, which may have limited interface choices and slower speeds.

Voyager Docking Station Makes Swapping Hard Drives as Convenient as USB Memory Keys

With the combination of a high performance 3.5" SATA I/II hard drive along with a NewerTech Voyager docking station, consumers can enjoy the same type of convenience as a flash memory or USB key, but with the much greater storage capacity offered by a hard drive.  Plus, with its custom, stylish design, weighted base and drive eject lever, the NewerTech Voyager makes inserting, using, and removing the included hard drive a safe and effortless procedure.

Drive Options with Most Energy Efficiency & Highest Capacity Available On Market

Voyager Bundles feature hard drives that deliver best-in-class performance, boasting options with the largest capacity hard drives and best energy efficiency on the market. Voyager 1.0TB Bundles feature the Hitachi Deskstar 3.5" hard drive that delivers the best energy efficiency on the market, with up to 43% less idle power consumption over previous generation 1.0TB hard drives.  Users with massive storage needs can select the Voyager Bundles that feature the 2.0TB Western Digital Caviar Green hard drive, the largest capacity, eco-friendly single 3.5" hard drive available on the market.

Real-World Applications for OWC Voyager Bundle:

• Photographers/Videographers:  Keep photos and videos archived and organized by using a separate drive for each volume of work.

• Small Business: Backup important files at the end of day and keep the drive either off-site or in a fire-proof safe.  Keep multiple drive backups from any specific date.

• Computer Technicians: Easily backup client data to separate disks before working on the computer without the need to utilize a hard drive enclosure. 

• Home Users:  Save pictures, financial records, scanned legal documents (such as birth certificates), and other personal documents.  Backup data to a separate drive and keep the drive in a safe or safe deposit box.

• All Users:  Have the piece of mind of a complete backup plan. The included software creates a bootable clone of the primary hard drive at regular intervals, so if the computer or power goes down, productivity doesn’t go down with it.  Boot to another computer and keep on working.

Cisco Routers for the Desperate, 2nd Edition
—New from No Starch Press

A Vital Resource for the System Administrator in Crisis

San Francisco, CA, February 25, 2009—Cisco routers and switches are the backbone of many small business networks. While Cisco's hardware is typically reliable, things can break—and when they do, most administrators don't want to wade through lengthy product documentation to solve their problems. They need to be able to fix things fast.
This second edition of the critically acclaimed Cisco Routers for the Desperate (No Starch Press, February 2009, 144 pp, ISBN 9781593271930) gives readers exactly the information they need to solve router problems when things go south. Building on the same "in case of emergency" basics and quick fixes that made the first edition a success, the second edition takes a completely command line-oriented approach to working with the Cisco operating system and adds coverage of switches and the latest Cisco terminology.
"Cisco routers and switches are mysterious black boxes to many people," said No Starch Press founder William Pollock. "But not every sys admin is or wants to be a Cisco expert. Cisco Routers for the Desperate is for those sys admins who aren't Cisco experts but who know that when the router goes down, they've got problems. The book is short and sweet; designed to be read once then literally left by the router in case something bad happens."
In addition to sections on basic router maintenance and circuit troubleshooting, Cisco Routers for the Desperate, 2nd Edition covers:

• Configuration—setting up router and network connections correctly
• Troubleshooting—how to determine whether a failure or slowdown is due to an ISP problem or your hardware
• Security—how to keep network equipment safe from attacks and install a private network between two offices
• Network redundancy—how to reduce downtime using BGP and HSRP
• Integration—how to update and maintain routers and switches and add new hardware into existing networks

Cisco Routers for the Desperate, 2nd Edition gives readers what they need to know to provide reliable network services, keep their router buzzing along, and fix problems fast.

EQD Introduces New Line of High-Quality (HDTV)s with Market-Leading Price and Warranty

AURIA LCD HDTV Line from EQD is Priced Up to 20 Percent Less Than Other TV Brands, Includes an Extended 24-Month Warranty and Benefits Charities

Mission Viejo, Calif. (Feb. 24, 2009 ) -- EQD Corp., a new provider of visual display products, today announced its official entry into the LCD HDTV market with its AURIA line of high definition and Full-HD LCD TVs.

The AURIA line offers consumers and businesses exceptionally high quality and value due to EQD’s commitment to making HD television an affordable option for more viewers by offering market-leading pricing structure – with prices as low as 20 percent less than its closest competitor – as well as an unprecedented two-year warranty and excellent customer service. EQD has also pledged to donate a portion of its profits to the Armed Forces Foundation and Miracles for Kids charities.

The AURIA LCD TV line delivers HDTVs with 720p and full 1080p high definition performance, giving a precise and clear picture. Display sizes range from 16 up to 47 inches and offer high brightness and a dynamic contrast ratio of 10,000:1 on several models. For optimal digital signage applications, digital home entertainment such as HDTV content, and Blu-ray Disc™ players, AURIA TVs include integrated ATSC / NTSC / QAM TV tuners and a wide variety of connectivity options, including HDMI 1.3.

“As tough economic times are changing the HDTV landscape, and with the federally mandated switch to digital TV signals, EQD has entered the marketplace in a unique position that will allow us to provide high-quality, high-value Multiple Function Monitors (MFM) as HDTVs and PC displays at the lowest possible price,” said Steve Woo, CEO of EQD. “This business model will not only help us meet the needs of today’s consumers and businesses, but it will also allow us to give back to the community.”

“The new AURIA line of televisions brings to customers the same great quality and components of top-selling national LCD HDTV brands, but at much lower price points,” Woo said. “More consumers and businesses can make the transition to digital TV affordably, and with the new line of televisions also benefitting our charities of choice -- the Armed Forces Foundation and Miracles for Kids – making the switch to high definition TV becomes a charitable act as well.”
A versatile display, the new AURIA LCD HDTV line comes in a sleek, piano black finish with a small form factor that is suitable for multiple purposes -- for digital home entertainment, a computer monitor for the office and for digital signage in retail stores and businesses. Some of the LCD TVs will also have an RS232 port for digital signage applications.

The new AURIA LCD HDTV product line will be available in March/April of 2009. The full line of AURIA HD LCD TVs is available through major online retailers such as Amazon.com, Buy.com, Newegg, PC Mall and PC Connection.  Additional online retailers throughout the U.S. will be announced in the near future.

Fast Set-up with RocketLife Creation System

RocketLife Instant Experience makes the site design process instantaneous.  It provides a template branded for the site, which takes only seconds to set up vs. the months that it takes with traditional methods.  The RocketLife Creation System technology quickly generates the chosen theme and automatically adapts any products into the theme with a single click, regardless of the photo size or aspect ratio.  The system provides a collection of rich themes relevant to a wide range of activities, such as sports, churches, schools, holidays, and travel, etc., in addition to special sports subgroups, such as mascots, teams, and facility photos for each university in a league.  To extend the design from one school to multiple schools, only the school specific graphic must be changed, making the already quick RocketLife Creation System design cycle even faster.

TIVOLI AUDIO INTRODUCES A GLOBAL RADIO
THAT POINTS THE WAY TO THE FUTURE OF HOME AUDIO

- A Breakthrough, Yet Simple Device That Can Play Any Station, or Your Own Music -

Boston, MA – When Tivoli Audio CEO Tom DeVesto and his team of engineers set out to create the next generation of home audio, they began with a simple question: What would the ideal radio do? The new Tivoli Audio NetWorks radio is the answer to that question. Taking advantage of broadcasting over the Internet, NetWorks delivers crystal-clear reception of any radio station, near or far, with no need for a computer. NetWorks allows listeners to tune in to Italian Opera from Milan, rock music from New York City, or any specialty, niche radio station from any location in the world in its native language, and in real time. It also allows access to music stored on PCs from any room in the house through a wireless or Ethernet connection. NetWorks features Tivoli Audio-quality sound as a stand-alone unit, but can be expanded with a stereo speaker, CD player, or subwoofer. And the NetWorks radio builds upon Tivoli Audio’s reputation as a design leader, offering a choice of furniture-quality hardwood cabinets. The result is an elegantly simple, beautifully designed, yet technologically-advanced NetWorks that points to the future of home audio entertainment. 

“It has been our goal to continually bring the most innovative radios to market with the quality and high performance that our customers have come to expect from Tivoli Audio,” says Tivoli Audio Chairman and CEO Tom DeVesto. “The greatest challenge in designing the NetWorks
Global radio was in making it simple to use. It combines function and design with the ability to deliver the world of radio broadcasts to home radio listeners, offering audio networking that sounds as good as it looks.”

Accessing AM and FM stations via a Wi-Fi or Ethernet broadband connection, NetWorks connects to thousands of free radio stations worldwide.  It easily searches for stations by country, genre, or a station’s call letters. It is also one of the first audio products to be user-upgradeable, so your advanced radio can keep pace with rapidly changing technology. NetWorks comes with five pre-sets, but through its exclusive Global Portal can add an unlimited number of Internet stations that are stored to a “Favorites” list. These would include many HD Multi-cast and DAB stations, previously only available from expensive HD or dedicated DAB receivers. NetWorks is available with or without a digital FM tuner with RDS (where available) to provide continual service when Internet service is unavailable.

NetWorks even has the ability to stream music files from a computer via an Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection. NetWorks is compatible with most of today’s popular music formats, including MP3, WMA, and Real Audio. Also included is a USB input to connect a compatible MP3 player or memory stick. Additional features include a virtual analog clock, dual independent alarms with sleep timer and snooze function, compact remote control, and easy-to-read four-line by 16 character back-lighted display.

NetWorks employs a full-range 3.5” magnetically shielded driver capable of high quality audio reproduction. For true stereo sound, NetWorks provides a right channel output for the matching NetWorks Speaker, sold separately. A matching CD player and subwoofer are available. As a music system, NetWorks includes stereo headphone, record and subwoofer outputs, and auxiliary and mixing inputs for use with other audio equipment or a computer.

“In keeping with Tivoli Audio’s design philosophy, NetWorks is very easy to use – simply access the Internet and start listening. You don’t have to be a computer expert or even need a computer to operate it,” adds Mr. DeVesto.

Other notable features include an adjustable Equalizer and SuperBuffertm, developed exclusively by Tivoli Audio to extend the standard buffer time and virtually eliminate Internet radio station dropouts. 

The new Tivoli Audio NetWorks Global Radio measures 5.51”W x 8.74”H x 5.12”D and comes in Walnut, Cherry, and Wenge furniture-grade wood finishes with gold-toned faceplates. NetWorks Global Radio will be sold nationwide at distinctive retail stores or direct by calling toll-free at 1-877-297-9479 or visiting the company’s Web site at www.tivoliaudio.com.
